Latino groups sue over Texas redistricting

The Voting Rights Act protects minority voters' right to choose who represents them, whether or not that is a person of color.

In its 2013 Shelby v Holder decision, the Supreme Court essentially gutted the Voting Rights Act by nullifying Section 5 protections from discrimination. The 2020 census showed that Texas’ population grew by nearly 4 million people, making it the only state to add two congressional seats because of population growth.

Nina Perales, MALDEF’s vice president of litigation, said in a news release: "Texas once again adopted plans that dilute Latino voting strength. The new redistricting plans are an unlawful attempt to thwart the changing Texas electorate and should be struck down.”In 2018, the Supreme Court,, ruled that Texas' adoption of maps drawn by a federal court was not discriminatory.

“At the same time that the court is determining how many millions of dollars they will have to pay for violating the law 10 years ago, here they are doing the same thing again, putting more and more taxpayer money at risk, because they will lose again,” Saenz said.

Well no shirt chitlock. that's to be expected with the open borders crowd set out to 'fundamentally change America'.

Screw the Latino, They just tuck tail and run from a Good Fight. Not Smart. Yes I will be judgmental, that is a right that i have because I'm Part Black. Now Turn off the fan before the shit starts to hit it. I can only be honest with these Crying Fricken Babies.

I wonder how that could have happened...

And white Texans are scared shitless.........

Bewitched9 I think it’s now appropriate to call Texas and apartheid state!

Watchdogsniffer The white patriarchy in Texas will do anything legal or not to hold onto their perceived power. Go get em.

Yeah. ILLEGALS ENTERING TEXAS will do that.

They’re playing dirty again to maintain power. They’re so in their element.

Does this mean Whites will get free stuff starting next year or is the system race based? hmmm

You must be referring to ethnic northern European white migrants... anglo, germanic, slavs.. opposed to mixed races 'Latinos' which include ethnic southwestern European migrant whites (Spanish, Portuguese, french, Italian) Define 'white'.
